Century BOB Freestanding Punch Bag Height Adjustable 60-78 inches

Product Information

BoxerPoint's Double End Bag is mounted from floor to ceiling to provide a secure, space-efficient system for 360-degree use. If you want to work out your fighting moves, Punching Dummies or Bags is great because it’s the only situation where you can really put all your strength into it, simulating what would happen in a real fight. Mentally, boxing requires you to be present and have your actions connect to your breathing, explains Young.

But the master of modern street fighting believes Bob to be ineffective for working on hard punches: «However, when it comes to developing true punching power, the BOB is a poor choice. Jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts are all ideal here, both to body and the head / face area of the bob boxing dummy. Due to its lack of swing, and the fact that you do not need to move very much during a session, you tend to be lazy about doing footwork. It is suitable for working on punching technique when a fighter invests minimum force and concentrates on the definition of movements. People who are not so familiar with martial arts, when seeing BOB’s complexion, immediately say something like: "This is better than a bag of sand because it feels like training with a live person", and turn out to be wrong.

You will still be able to work on the technique with it, but it gives in to the hanging heavy punching bag in terms of working on power punches, as well as Bob.

This isn’t really a huge issue as I’d imagine most people will do what I do and have an area to train on the Bob. Both the Bob and the Bob XL have a height adjustment allowing it to go from 60″ to 78″ (inches) tall. But we like that it can be filled with sand or water, and that there are 12 suction cups on the bottom to hold it in place.There the poor thing was beaten mercilessly over a period of years (I think we even used sticks on it at some point).
